If that was an American ambulance you would still be in the tunnel.

Bigger isn't always better...

@EnjoyFirefighting You are right. This ambulace DID make very good progress in the stopped traffic.

Unfortunate that it could not have used another route.

I have been amazed when impossibly blocked and jammed traffic was able to clear a path for our emergency vehicle. Often I wish I had "THANK YOU" in LED lights in the rear window to flash to thank those drivers.

@robertgift on roads like this the median is often continuous. We here sometimes do go in the opposing traffic lane, but just when there's a good view. Another alternative we sometimes use when traffic is backed up is that we drive onto the sidewalk (well not possible in a tunnel). What we also just can't do is going in the opposing lane of a highway, unless traffic has been completly stopped on the oncoming lane.

And here in the vid tha ambulance actually wasn't that slow for that much traffic

@EnjoyFirefighting You will see trafficoming directly at you. They will see you coming directly athem. You both slow, each go to youright and pass each other. I have done it countless times.

You cross over b e f o r e the median barrier starts. I have crossed over before median started because all lanes of traffic ahead where backed up. No problem. Just a little inconvenience for opposing moving trafficompared to backed up vehicles in your lanes trying to move and maneuver and notouch.

@robertgift lol no risk of collision when going in the opposite lane in a tunell??

btw it would have been possible to do so anyway, theere's a high median barrier (you see it at e.g.1:37)

[robertgift]

I would have proceeded in thempty opposing lanes. No risk of collision because drivers are looking right at you and see you early from a distance. They have time to change lanes to the right lane.

I am alwaysurprised when I come to impassable conjestion that drivers manage to clear a path so well.

@robertgift cause going in the oncoming traffic lane in a tunnel isn't always the best solution. But first thing you said: so true! No way that US size vehicles would manage to go through there

This is an Dutch Firetruck dude

[robertgift]

American ambulance would be too FAT to squeeze through.

Why not travel in the mostly empty opposing lanes to your left in the tunnel?

All that for a chronic bowel obstruction

Impressive driving.
